Re: Tagger not working?

 

I have raised another bug as I have discovered my inability to decode QRs
is a separate thing. I have tried using example codes found online, big and
clear. I have tried taking a photo, cropping and using that photo. Nothing
decodes! On my phone it was effectively instant. I did randomly decode the
letter V from god only knows what when I wasn't even pointing it at a code
yesterday. Can anyone else get this to work on their M10?
